Scope and content
Mrs. Phoebe Maxson celebrated her 100th birthday at her residence in the Tobey Jones Home for the Aged, 5340 North Bristol Street, on October 12, 1934. Born on a 160-acre farm in Ohio, Mrs. Maxson came west in the early 1880s. She was one of the founders of the Epworth Methodist Church and the Tacoma chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Having outlived both of her husbands, S.A. Danel and A. M. Maxson, she moved to the Tobey Jones home in 1923. She died on August 5, 1936, just two months short of her 102nd birthday. (T. Times 10/11/1935, pg. 7)
